I didnt create this... its copy/pasted from somewhere
Injector compiles fine.... also the DLL is injected into process fine

DLL coded in C++:

DllMain.cpp:

/* Replace "dll.h" with the name of your header */
#include "dll.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

DLLIMPORT void Hello ()
{
    MessageBox (0, "Hello from injected DLL!\n", "Hi", MB_ICONINFORMATION);
}


BOOL APIENTRY DllMain (HINSTANCE hInst     /* Library instance handle. */ ,
                       DWORD reason        /* Reason this function is being called. */ ,
                       LPVOID reserved     /* Not used. */ )
{
switch (reason)
    {
      case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
           Hello();
        break;

      case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
           Hello();
        break;

      case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
           Hello();
        break;

      case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
           Hello();
        break;
    }  

    /* Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure */
    return TRUE;
}

dll.h:

#ifndef _DLL_H_
#define _DLL_H_

#if BUILDING_DLL
# define DLLIMPORT __declspec (dllexport)
#else /* Not BUILDING_DLL */
# define DLLIMPORT __declspec (dllimport)
#endif /* Not BUILDING_DLL */


DLLIMPORT void Hello (void);


#endif /* _DLL_H_ */

Never really coded DLL before so is my DLL wrong or is the DLL Injector/Loader wrong?

Thanks very much for reading

Any tips/help will be much appreciated

hey what does

*/Replace "dll.h" with the name of your header */

mean
